Cherry and Atticus on Zombie Island

chapter 9

Atticus walked over and Mo folded her arms and glared at him with her green eyes in hatred and betrayal.

"How's Miss Dupree?" Mo asked sharply.

"She's doing great." Atticus said.

"I bet..." Mo seemed to be seething from jealousy.

Cherry nervously walked away to let Atticus and Mo have some privacy.

"Mo, are you jealous?" Atticus smirked playfully.

"No, I'm just mad that she's trying to steal you from me!" Mo threw her arms up in outrage.

"She's not going to steal me away from you." Atticus assured her.

"Uh-huh, I'd like to believe that, she's clearly hitting on you..."Mo glared.

"Mo, I think you're just jealous..." Atticus replied.

"I AM NOT!" Mo screamed in his face. "She is a beast!"

"Okay, okay, I'll stay away from her." Atticus said.

"You better..." Mo narrowed her eyes and walked off.

Atticus watched Mo go and scratched his head as he wondered what had gotten into her. Cherry went in a guest room alone to do some research on the island.

Later, Simone wanted to know why Velma, Mo, and Discord had destroyed half her kitchen. "Would you mind telling me why you destroyed half my kitchen?"

"Well, according to this book, the MAELSTROM was the name of Morgan Moonscar's pirate ship." Velma defended.

"I'm not surprised," Simone replied. "Parts of this house is quite old. The pieces of the pirate ship could've been used for construction. Morgan Moonscar was rumored to have buried treasure of this island, though it was... Never found."

"That is interesting." Discord said.

"Talk about a real mystery." Mo put her hands on her hips.

"You said it." Atticus said.

"Well, look who's mind is outside of Lena." Mo muttered.

"Mo, stop..." Atticus sighed. "There's no need to be jealous, I'd never love anyone other than you."

"Honest?" Mo asked.

"Honest, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Atticus said.

Mo giggled to that. "Yes, Pinkie Pie."

Atticus smirked to that, knowing it would cheer her up.

"Perhaps someone is only pretending to be this Morgan Moonscar to scare people off the island to get some sort of treasure all to themselves, hmm?" Discord suggested.

"Nope, it's definitely a real ghost, I just know it." Atticus said.

Simone seemed to glance at the term of 'ghosts'.

"You might be right," Mo said. "After meeting you and Cherry; I believe anything."

Meanwhile with Shaggy, Scooby, and Darla...

Shaggy was eating yet another pepper.

"You guys and those peppers..." Darla folded her arms. "I'm starting to think they aren't good for you."

Shaggy's eyes started to tear up from the spiciness of the peppers.

"I don't think they even know when to stop eating." Big Mona said as Darla had brought the catfish with them for more outside experience.
